Other kit is available to buy online from Macron: http://www.macronstorewrexham.co.uk/oswestry-olympians/Andy is happy to deliver orders to Marches School training sessions for free.

Due to the increasing numbers of children wanting to join the club, we need parent volunteers to support coaches at training sessions, help with team managing, and to track judge or officiate field events at competitions. Please help!

Parking at Marches School

A polite reminder that parents should park in the car park at the front of the school and walk children up to the field. DO NOT come through the Sportshall as it is booked by other users. Children should also be collected from the field. Thank you
